4 May 20111,396 viewsNo Comment

First in the Kurt Wallander mystery series. It was a crime of senseless violence. On a cold night in a remote Swedish farmhouse, an elderly farmer was bludgeoned to death, his wife left to die with a noose around her neck. As if this didn’t present enough problem for Ystad police inspector Kurt Wallander, the dying woman’s last words, his only tangible clue, were foreign. If publicized, they could be the match that would inflame Sweden’s anti-immigrant sentiments. With this case — unlike the situation with his ex-wife, his estranged daughter or the young prosecutor who has piqued his interest — Wallander feels he has a problem he can handle. He quickly becomes obsessed with solving the crime before the already tense situation explodes, though it will require all of his talent to do so.
